Sticky Gelatin

Gelatin always sticks to the bottom or sides of the bowl when I prepare it. So I put the dry mix in a bowl and add just enough cold water to dampen it. Then I pour in the boiling water and stir. The gelatin doesn't stick and still sets to the right consistency. —Bertha Duncum, Cameron, Texas
